This snowflake was inspired by a flower snowflake rock necklace I created for my four-year-old neighbor, upon her request, after she helped me place an armful of snowflake rocks in my early spring garden.

I asked her what she would like to name her snowflake, and she picked Savanna. She explained she likes that name.

You may do whatever you'd like with snowflakes you make from this pattern, but you may not sell or republish the pattern. Thanks, and enjoy!

Round 3: Ch 2 (counts as 1 dc), 1 dc over post of dc directly below, 2 hdc in same sp, 1 sc in same sp, * 1 sc in next ch 5 sp, 2 hdc in same sp, 2 dc in same sp, ch 3, sl st in top of dc just worked (picot made), 1 dc in same sp, 2 hdc in same sp, 1 sc in same sp; repeat from * around 4 times; 1 sc in next ch 5 sp, 2 hdc in same sp, 1 dc in same sp, sl st in 2nd ch of starting ch 2, ch 1, 1 dc in sl st to form 6th ch 3 picot of Round.
NOTE: Ending here and binding off makes a cute flower flake. Ch 3 and sl st into sl st instead of ch 1 and dc into sl st to bind off here.

Finish: Tape wax paper or plastic wrap to top of empty pizza box. Pin snowflake to box on top of wax paper or plastic wrap.

If using glue, mix a few drops of water with a teaspoon of glue in small washable container. Paint snowflake with glue mixture or desired stiffener. Sprinkle lightly with glitter. Wash paintbrush and container thoroughly. Allow snowflake to dry at least 24 hours. Remove pins. Gently peel snowflake from wax paper or plastic wrap. Attach 10-inch clear thread to one spoke, weaving in end. Wrap fishing line around tree branch (or tape to ceiling or any overhead surface) and watch the snowflake twirl freely whenever you walk by! Snowflake also may be taped to window or tied to doorknob or cabinet handle.

I absolutely love your snowflakes. Finally had a good reason to work on this one. It is absolutely lovely. Just one minor thing I noted, and I hope you do not mind me pointing it out. Round 6 does not look like your picture, if worked as currently written. I believe it is missing a dc picot just before the "1 dc in next ch 3 tip". Of course snowflakes never look completely the same anyway, and I am liking the slight variation I ended up with. I just thought you might want to know. Thank you for posting these great patterns.

I'm making a giant version of this (same pattern but with two strands of worsted weight held together with K hook) to go on my front door! My husband wants to block it with clear polyurethane instead of standard glue.

Oh my gosh, thank you! It took SO MUCH GLUE I was worried it would never stiffen properly. Turns out the trick is to pour straight glue onto the back of the pattern. Oh yes, in case you didn't see my response to your last comment on my page, I'd be honored if you decided to feature my post at any time. :)

Hi, I have trouble with round 6. I have a feeling there is a mistake in the pattern. In this section: ...1 dc in next ch 3 tip, ch 3, 1 dc in 3rd ch from hook (dc picot made), 1 dc in same sp, ch 3, 1 dc in 3rd ch from hook (dc picot made), ch 5...I think there should be just ...1 dc in next ch 3 tip, ch 3, 1 dc in 3rd ch from hook (dc picot made), ch 5...

Anyways I love all you snowflakes, and the way you describe the patterns. I have made about 30 of them so far and will make more for sure. Thanks a lot for sharing all this.
